tranny problems
93 prelude S.
Even though I asked the seller whats up with the tranny doing this, he said it never happened before and was just me but whatever ill get over it.
If I fly through the gears and accelerate hard it shifts fine through the gears.
Problem is if i cruise in second, or if im in second around a turn and it gets bumpy, sometimes even giong straight in second and it gets bumpy, and then i give it gas afterwards, the RPMS climb but I do not accelerate. This would also happen if i gas it up to higher RPMS ( 5k+ RPMS) in second and let off the gas quickly, the car will kind of bog(normal) but then if I give it gas again RPMs climb but im nto accelerating.
It does not do this in any other gear.
Its also not fully popping out of gear I don't think. The shifter is not in the middle, its still somewhat in the slot for second, I just have to put the clutch in, pull it back in a bit and then I can take off again. Any ideas. Im hoping its the clutch or maybe a mount rather then the tranny. The kid I bought it from said he had just put in a new clutch, maybe there was an install error.
TIA
EDIT - I get no CELs either.
im looking into this shift solenoid now.

Re: tranny problems (LostAndFound)
if your rpms are climbing without an increase in road speed, your clutch is slipping.
added: even though the clutch is new, if your rear main seal goes, it will cause oil to get on the clutch mating surfaces, which will cause a brand new clutch to slip.

Re: (LostAndFound)
are you sure theres a new clutch in there though? just cause the kid said there was a new clutch doesnt mean there actually is one. just a thought. i cant really imagine why it would do that in 2nd only.

took it for another drive. the clutch generally is definately not slipping.
it was a bit harder to induce the 2nd gear slip I get, maybe the penzoil syncromesh being worked in there is starting to get it going, but after driving it maybe 5 min keeping the RPms up etc, I managed to get it. It primarily does it around turns, I hear the bump and I can then hear/feel the tranny pop out, RPMs rise but it still feels like its in gear acordin to the shifter.
I checked the mounts, there all tightened and there, except the back one(if we have a back one, I couldnt see it cause of **** in the way.)

your 2nd gear is fucked man. the guy who had it before was doing too many 1-2 chirps and probably ate up the 2nd gear synchro as well as the gear itself. looks like it's time for a rebuild or a new tranny.
